Ex-Gawker editor A.J. Daulerio may be Hulk Hogan’s ace in the hole to make the gossip website pay big bucks for posting the wrestling star’s sex video, The Post has learned.

The gossip site’s chief restructuring officer, William Holden, has said in bankruptcy filings that the company has promised to pay any legal judgments against its employees — including Daulerio, who is on the hook to Hogan for more than $100 million.

While Hogan can’t go after Gawker or its founder, Nick Denton, because they are protected by their recent bankruptcy filings, Daulerio is still exposed. He is responsible for $115.1 million of the verdict.

A Florida judge has ordered Daulerio to appear in court on Aug. 11 to explain why Hogan shouldn’t be able to seize his assets, including his valuable indemnity rights.
